My favorite things about Halloween are the dressing up, and the "spoofing" of secret families. The hardest part is not getting caught.
:) Spoofing is giving a plate of goodies to a secret family without getting caught. Usually everyone dresses in black for hiding purposes and the goal is to place the goodies on the porch, hide, wait to make sure they find them and make the get away without getting caught. Getting caught can result in no treat when we arrive home, ya know, like no hot chocolate, or cookies or pie.
Eric and baby Braxton shared the fun with us this year, it was really fun, except when in the excitement to document the fun Beckii dropped her camera out the van door. By the way flashes inside the get away vehicle do not help the get away van hide very well, it also blinds the driver. Fortunately the camera seems to have survived the trauma.
By the way the candy we made to spoof with came from Nickie's blog (Thanks) from Christmas of 2007. The button candy, with Halloween colored MM's was perfect for making eyeballs. They were so fast to make especially when Beckii, Mikaela and I were unwrapping the foil from the Hershey kisses. Later when Michael was making the "eyeballs" by himself it took a little longer so Mikaela and I joined in so it became a race to the end, Michael placed the last kiss. And the pumpkin cookies were the work of Beckii, Michael and Mikaela.

You'll thank me later for the flashes in the van!! We had so much fun, thanks for letting us come along.
First of all now that i know the rules of spoofing i must say i never got caught and when we got home I didn't get any hot chocolate or cookies and that sounds really good right now so you owe me next time! Second of all the camera survived the trauma but did the driver survive the flashes?
